Breathing & Moving 101

BBM (Breath Body Mind TM) is a breathing and movement practice used to balance the nervous system, get calm, shift anger, and feel better.

The core BBM practice is coherent breathing; breathing in and out at the same pace. We normally inhale longer. Sometimes we hold our breath unintentionally. 20 minutes a day restores balance to your sympathetic and parsympathetic nervous system (fight or flight). The movements we do can be very gentle (safe for seniors) to quite vigorous (athletes and tough guys/gals) depending on the group.

The practice will be led by Leo Ouellette, level 2 Certified BBM by Dr. Richard Brown and Dr. Patricia Gerbarg. He has been practicing BBM since 2019. He holds an MA in education from the Teachers College of Columbia University.

This is a short 20 minute lunch practice. Join us behind the old Columbia Bar, next to the Smith's parking lot.
